Encountered one a little over a year ago in a group setting. One of those militant, insistent types. Told him I refused to be held hostage to other people’s mental illness. One of the benefits of being retired is you’ve no career to be destroyed by the PC inquisitors.

Know that many people (mostly progressive types) have been taught conflict intervention – if not getting involved to stand up for the person being victimized then recording and reporting to the police.
Be forewarned.
Don’t jump the gun and get taken down too soon. Save yourself for the big game to come.

you must fantasize about me. all of you who can’t get me out of your tiny minds are secretly jealous. jealous that your lives are worthless and pathetic. you have no control of your destiny or futures.

i OTOH make my own reality because i am not caged into a self-imposed box of rules. tfA-t bends the iron bars of mental slavery and sets himself free. he defies all all so-called authority. you simply cannot keep a good man down.

many have tried and failed.

the church
the schools
the army
the drug world
the pooplice
the courts
the gubbermint
the market place
the cunts
the world

and still tfA-t STANDS TALL

knock me down, and i get up and become stronger. kill me and i become an immortal force that lives on in infinity.

That was the fourth or fifth time this month. The groups get larger each time. Those arrested usually have the charges dropped. Normally the police are ordered to just follow the groups and observe. It’s getting so bad that they actually have to try and arrest someone or the tourists and business owners will leave. Finally. Chicago is losing population every year. Lots of people leaving.

Historic Mural Removed From School Because it Only Features White Children

Painting taken down because it doesn’t reflect modern day “diversity” of Chicago.

A historic mural dating from 1937 was removed from a middle school in Chicago because it only showed white children and failed to reflect the school’s modern day “diversity”.

The mural was taken down at Percy Julian Middle School in Oak Park after the school’s “Social Justice Club” and “Diversity Committee” complained that it was upsetting to students of color.

“I have had students approach me pointing out that this picture does not represent our student body or the diversity of Oak Park,” Principal Todd Fitzgerald wrote in an email to staff.

The mural – entitled ‘Child and Sports–Winter’ was originally painted by Ethel Spears and was previously displayed in Lowell Elementary.

“This mural made students feel invisible because it doesn’t reflect the current student body,” Brito Millan said. “How can a student learn in a healthy environment when they don’t feel they are being seen?”

However, David Sokol, a retired professor of American art history at the University of Illinois at Chicago, described the removal of the painting as a “modern-day book burning.”

“There is nothing offensive with the mural; it just shows all white kids playing,” said Sokol. “Just because it doesn’t have any black kids, doesn’t make it offensive. It doesn’t display any stereotypes at all. That’s how Oak Park looked back then. You can’t erase history.”

Barbara Bernstein, a founder of the New Deal Art Registry, agreed, commenting, “I think it does a real disservice to remove a piece of historical work,” said Bernstein. “Not everything in your environment is going to be a perfect reflection of you.”

Kate Smith’s version of God Bless America will no longer be broadcast during Yankee games’ 7th inning stretch. She’s been outed for recording “Pickaninny Heaven” in 1939. In it she urged little chillins to think of a magical place with giant watermelons.
